You heard about the singing breakmen, you mighta seen a singing cowboy too

A D A B7 E

Well I'm Joe the Singin' Janitor, I'm at a theater near you

I'll also be appearing at the concerts you'll be hearing but I won't be singin' with a band

A E A

I'm Joe the Singin' Janitor, cleanin' up for the folks, gettin by the best I can

CHORUS:

D

I'm in your school room, your pool room, your office and your home

A

And I always give you service with a smile

D

And most folks never think that a janitor needs

A E

A little kindness once in a while

A D

Well I really don't care if you think I'm square from my hat down to my shoes

A E A

I'm Joe the Singin' Janitor, so go easy on a guy tryin' to make life easy for you

SOLO

A D E A

Well the schoolkids like to have a laugh on me, with their spitballs and chewin' gum mess

A B7 E

Makin' fun of my cornball singin' voice and the real square way I dress

A D

Well I'm gonna sing a song in the principal's office, so they better respect an old man

A E A

I'm Joe the Singin' Janitor, workin' hard for the kids, gettin' by the best I can

A D E A

Well if a broomstick was a microphone, I could show you all a thing or two

A B7 E

I ain't on the stage, just a dirty old floor, and I got a lot of work to do

A D

I can't carry a tune in a bucket but I carry that bucket with pride

A E A

I'm Joe the Singin' Janitor, yeah I'm the man behind the mop I make everything sparkle & shine

CHORUS

A E A

Yeah go easy on a guy tryin' to make life easy for you
